Zenonia is good (I have Zenonia 2 on my phone) but I can't help but wonder how much better the game would play if I had physical buttons. The virtual D-Pad is annoying. It doesn't make the game unplayable. The game compensates for the lack of D-Pad precision (you don't have to be facing an enemy perfectly to be able to hit them). But physical buttons would help a lot. And the menus are very clunky. You can't just select something from the menu immediately by touching it, you have to cycle through the menu with the virtual D-Pad. Eww. I downloaded the PSN Mini version of Zenonia 1 awhile back but haven't tried it yet. I'd imagine that Zenonia would play a lot better with the physical D-Pad than a virtual one. Zenonia 2 looks like it's going to remain iOS/Android exclusive though so I have no choice but to play it with the virtual D-Pad. Maybe it takes getting used to, I don't know. There are some games that don't work out too well with a touchscreen but some that do. So I get tired from hearing from gamers that smartphone games suck. But yeah, for something like Zenonia and for emulation of old-school 8-bit/16-bit/Playstation 2D that require good D-Pad precision (like Mega Man, Tetris, beat-em-ups, etc.) I don't like touchscreen controls too much.
